FFYS is a fledgling organization that needs funding for several Youth Services programs. I encourage all to "BRING ON FRIDAY, BUY ON SATURDAY!"

We are asking everyone to please network and spread the word. We also need help if anyone has a truck or large van,SUV to help bring items to the school. Below are the kinds of new and gently used items we are looking for, which tend to be very popular:
  • Household goods - clean, working and in good condition
  • Baby clothes - clean and folded. If size labels are not visible, please tape size on the bag
  • Clothing - please make sure the items are clean and on hangers or folded neatly
  • Toys - please wash them off
  • Purses
  • Ladies shoes
  • Linens - must be clean and neatly folded - If sizes are not visible, please tape the size on the bag
  • Furniture - clean  and in good condition
 The main setup day is Friday and there will be some setup on Saturday. Please bring in all items on the evening of Friday February 15.  Also, to help bring in more funds, we would like to sell food at the yard sale-flea market. We are asking for donations of hotdogs, hotdog buns, drinks, chips, chili, cheese, chopped onions, sodas, ketchup, mustard and relish.  All the proceeds from the food sales go to the group. If you are donating hotdog buns, it is preferable that they be brought in on Friday. Of course we never stop thinking about the fun-for-kids part of a great day like this. The possibility of having a moon bounce and charge a small donation of .25 - .50 to ride is still in the idea stage. On that note, any other good ideas about raising funds at the yard sale-flea market are welcome. Contact us at info@forwardfuture.org for more information.
